Bound By Bhowani, according to the tour, is a site that caters specifically to those who are both into bondage and have a thing for smartly dressed, sophisticated looking ladies.The tour promises that, if you sign you, you'll get: thousands of photographs, video clips, as well as access to three great sites for the price of one, the other two being Satin Tied and Blind Fold Bound.

The design of the member's page is, well, primitive. At the top, you'll find a row of plain HTML links: Home, Images, Image Archive, Video, Video Archive, Coming Soon, Featured Models, Links, Forum, Contact, and Support. Dispersed throughout the page, which is a plain white background, you'll find lots of site related news, which seems to be updated every week or so.

A quick scan of the archives and it becomes readily apparent that they do a mass dump of videos once a month, usually consisting of around 6-10 scenes. There's also already fifty-six models, which certainly helps in way of variety. Oh, and each and every one of them is drop-dead-gorgeous, just as the tour promised.

There's also a php-based forum, where users can discuss anything and everything related to the site. It looks to quite active, with well over 150 threads. Discussions vary wildly. I've seen topics on everything from outfit suggestions to to wild, personal candid sex stories. I also noticed there are quite a few old-school, forum regulars lurking around. To me, this is a sign of a good, strong community. And with a site that's been around since 2007, I'd expect nothing less.

The quality of the bondage I've seen here is great, but perhaps a bit redundant. I must admit, however, these babes are artfully gagged and bound. A variety of knots, varying from simple to downright intricate are on display here. Each clip is well filmed, with the girls, unfortunately, alleady tied up in most cases. I like the fact that the camera usually remains stationary. In some cases, all you see is the girl writhing around, hopelessly trying to free themselves from the expertly tied knots. Inexperienced handheld shots are often the worst. I did find the lighting to be far too low in some cases, which seems to be a common ailment amongst bondage sites. Worse yet, scenes are extremely short, and by that I mean one-to-three minutes in length.

To Bhowani's credit, the girls are fairly well dressed, often decked out in power-suits and expensive silk garb. Although, I have to admit to seeing a few very questionable ensembles. Nevertheless, what you see inside the members area is pretty much spot-on with what was promised on the tour. I can't help but feel a little bored, though, seeing so many videos of girls tied to chairs. Sure, they venture into other territories, and the women even give some hot blow jobs like this, but it sure can grow stale.

By my count there are 1046 videos. The files are in the Windows Media format, and they come with two quality options: High and Medium. They can be either streamed via Windows Media Player, or downloaded directly to your hard drive. I'd recommend you skip the medium-quality option altogether, as the resolution is just too low to be worth your time. I only recommend it for those with tremendously slow connections. The high-quality option, on the other hand, looked spectacular with a large resolution and bit rate. All in all, the play-back quality was well above average.

Since the site's debut in early 2007, they've managed to update the quality of their photographs quite a bit. Not only do they seem clearer and better shot, but the resolution size has grown as well. Initially photos were around 1,024 × 768 pixels, but pictures in newer updates have resolutions twice that size. There are currently 0 galleries in total, with an average of twenty new ones coming in each month. Each individual set consists of an average of twenty-five images. In addition to being able to download full galleries, you also have the option of selecting only the images you want from each set, and compressing your personal favorites in a ZIP file, via a handy-dandy little script. This is a cool feature, and one I don't recall seeing before today.

Your membership also affords you to Satin Tied and Blind Fold Bound, two sites whose layout and content is so similar to Bound By Bhowani's, that you have to wonder if they're cahoots. Nevertheless, it's certainly a great deal of 100% on-topic content.

Bound By Bhowani is a bondage site with a very specific clientele in mind. As of such, it's not really going to appeal to those who aren't into seeing smartly dressed women bound, gagged, and blindfolded. And whilst the videos are well-shot, running times are mediocre at best. Tech snobs will also likely turn their nose up at the sight of the extremely low-tech members area. However, the site has managed to survive for over four years, as well as develop a loyal user-base, so they must be doing something right. This site would be a great little gamble for you bored bondage enthusiasts.
